:To all whom it may concern:

' Be it known that I, JOHN Mourns, a citizen of the Unitedastates ofAmerica, residing at Pittsburgh, in the county of Allegheny .and ,State.of Pennsylvania, have inventedcertainznew and useful Improvemcnts'i'nToysfof -which the following is a specification, reference being hadtherein to t c accompanying drawing.

This invention relates to toys and more particularly to that class oftoys operated by wind or air.

The primary object of my invention is to provide a toy .for producingkaleidoseo ic effects throu h the medium of revoluble disks actuated byair. 1

Another obg'ect of the invention is to ride a toy 0 instructive and atthe to juveniles. I

A further object of theinvention is to accomplish the above results by amechanisame time amusing cal construction-that is simple, inexpensive tomanufacture and easy to operate. I

With the above and other ob ects in view the invention resides in anovel construction, combination and arrangement of parts to behereinafter specifically described and then claimed. so

Reference. will now be had to the drawing, wherein like numerals ofreference designate corresponding parts throughout the 'several views inwhich Figure in a perspective view of the toy. Fig. 2'is a perspectiveview of a detached shutter or disk. Fig. 3 is a perspective view -of'adetached main disk, and Figs. 4 and 5 are enlarged cross sectional viewsof the toy illustrating the ports thereof.

A tov in accordance with this invention comprises a tube-or ipe 1 havinone endther of provided wit a vertical arin 2 a and intermediatethe endsthere is anot er jacent to the bearing vertical bearing "3,co6peratingwith the bearing 2 in supporting a" longitudinal rod 4. The tube 1adjacent to the bearing 3 is provided with an angularly, disposed port 5and adj'acent to the-bearing 2 W'ithanother angularly dis osed port 6.The ports 5 and 6 are disposed at angles to each other for a purposepresently described.

Revolubly mounted upon the rod 4 ad- 7 and this disk or s utter isprovided with the above type that wil be rcctly above the port 6.

ing directed into contact with 3 1s a di'skor shutter a plurality ofradially dis used o'penin s 8, and carried by the rearsidie of said disor shutter are a plurality of radially disposed blades 9. It ispreferable to cut and shear the o enings 8 and bend the material outwardy from said openin s to form the blades 9, which are at rig it angles tothe rear side of said disk or shutter. The blades 9 are positioneddirectly above the port 5 and when air is discharged from the port 5 thedisk or shutter is revolved in one direction.

Reuolnbly mounted upon the rod -1- adjacent to the bearing 2 is a disk10 and this disk has a periphery thereof cut or sheared. as at 11 andthe material, bent outwardly to provide a ilurality of radially disposedblades 12. these blades being at right angles to the rear side of thedisk 10 and di- The front side of the disk 10 is printed or otherwisemarked with suitable configurations-ordesigns 13. the designs beingcircumferentially arranged whereby they can e' observed through theopenings 8 of the shutter 7.

Longitudinal displacement of the disk 7 and the shutter lQis preventedby collars 14 mounted upon the rod 4 at both sides of the disk andshutter.

The end of the tube 1 adjacent to the bearing 2 is closed and when theopen end of the tube is blown into air is discharged from the ports 5and 6, causing the disk and shutter to revolve in opposite directions.This effect is produced by reason (if the arrangement of the ports 5 and6 and the blades 9 and 12. the air or other fluid which is dischargedthrough the ports bethe respective blades in a manner to cause the diskand shutter to rotate in opposite directions. The revolving shutterproduces a kaleidoscopic eflect. With the shutter revolving the openings8 appear to the vision as one single circular opening, yet the materialbetween the openings 8 interrupts the designs upon the disk 10 toproduce a mu]- tiplicity of desi ns according to the 3 ed at which thedis and shutter are revo ved.

From the foregoing it will be observed that I'have devised a toy thatcan be con structed of various materials and in differ ent grades, forinstance, card board, will the exception of the rod 4, can be utilizedfor a chea toy, while the better grades can be made 0 light and durablemetal or wood.

What I claim is:

1. In a toy, a pair of bladed members revolubly mounted in axialalinement and spaced apart, the advance member being slotted and theother member provided with markings visible through the slots of theadvance member, and means for simultaneously directing independentstreams of a fluid blast to said members, the directions of the blastscausing the members to revolve in opposite directions.

2. In a toy, a air of bladed members revolubly mounte in axial alinementand s aced apart, the advance member being s otted and the other memberprovided with markings visible through the slots of the advance member,and means for simultaneously directin'g independent streams of a fluidblast to said members, the directions of the blasts causin the membersto revolve in opposite rections said: means comprising a tubular memberhaving a port for and in, proximity to the blades of each member, saidports being disposed angularly relative to each other.

3. In a toy, .a air of bladed members revolubly mounte in axialalinement and s aced apart, the advance member being 5 otted and theother member provided with other member carryi markings visible throughthi slots of the spacedapart ports leading from the intenor of themember and extending angularly with respect to each other, supportscarried by said tubular member adjacent to said ports, a rod extendingthrough said supports, and a air of bladed members supported on sai rodbetween said supports, each of said latter members being positioned toplace its blades in the path of movement of a blast of fluid issuingfrom said ports to provide revoluble movement to said members inopposite directions, the advance member being slotted and the designsvisible through the slotted portion of the advance member.

In testimony whereof I aflix my signature in the presence oftwowitnesses.
